Black Knight From Blue Star

 At the bottom of the circular vertical pit, there is a campfire burning.

Next to it, three people were sitting.

This is a simple survival measure in the wild created by Hardy using magic. This method can make the effect of the flame more concentrated and prevent the heat from being lost so easily.

The maids Aisha and Neferti were very close to the campfire because they felt cold. After all, they were just ordinary people. It was indeed unbearable in such a cold wilderness.

If Hardy were alone, he should be back in Basov City soon. After all, after transforming into the Nightmare Knight, he didn't need much rest and could travel almost the entire journey.

But it's different with the two of them. They need to rest, and because they are ordinary people, they can't run too fast when carrying the two of them, because the faster they run, the more bumpy they will be. Can't stand it.

Just slow down.

Therefore, due to the double effect, the three of them have not yet completed half of the journey.

The warm campfire warmed Neferti's body. She lay on the ground, her head resting on Aisha's thigh, and she fell asleep in a daze.

Ai Xia stroked the little girl's hair lovingly, then frowned slightly.

She looked at Hardy and whispered: "Sir, can you get us some water? I want to boil some warm water for the lady to wipe her hair and body."

"I use magic to create some water..."

"There is no need to be so wasteful." Ai Xia whispered: "There are many places when you go out. If you can solve it with a simple method, just use a simple method."

Ai Xia is actually very smart. She knows that Hardy is very strong, but no matter how strong a person is, there are limits.

For example, Hardy can obviously use magic to create flames, but why is he now using a campfire to keep them warm? It must be because magic is also consumed. It can be used in emergencies, but it cannot be used all the time.

Hardy nodded slightly, Aisha was indeed right.

His current magic power is indeed only about two-thirds, and with two women in the wilderness, he does not dare to use meditation to restore his mental power.

I can only wait for the passive rest to reply.

But now we are still about half way from Basov. Just in case, we save as much magic power as we can.

Ha jumped up from the bottom of the pit, took out two buckets from the system backpack, and went to the edge of the lake to get water.

At this time, he discovered that the edge of the lake had begun to freeze.

"The world is getting colder and colder." Hardy shook his head helplessly.

When he first came to this world, the water in the lake was only slightly cool.

It's only been about half a year now, and the temperature in the wild has been so cold that it's close to freezing.

He carried two buckets of water and returned to the edge of the pit. Just as he was about to jump down, he suddenly squatted down subconsciously.

Because he 'saw' with his opened mental power net, a team of unknown race passed by three hundred meters ahead.

Eleven intelligent spiritual bodies.

Hardy jumped down to the bottom of the pit and put out the campfire.

This is another benefit of lighting a fire at the bottom of a pit. The light of the fire is not easily visible to people from a distance. If the fire is lit on flat ground, it may be visible from several kilometers away.

When her eyesight turned completely dark, Aisha hugged Neferti suddenly and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"

Hardy said: "There is a team passing in this direction. I don't know if they are looking for us or passing by."

Without the campfire, the surrounding temperature gradually became colder. Aisha folded up the blanket and hugged Neferti to make her sleep more comfortable.

"I hope they are not here to find us." Ai Xia sighed.

She thinks Hardy is very strong, but because of her knowledge, she thinks Hardy is only strong among the human race, and other powerful races should be able to defeat Hardy.

As for Hardy's ability to turn into an eight-meter-tall black knight...she heard that the powerful fear demon can grow to more than ten meters tall.

A single spell from the Bone Demon can destroy a city. Therefore... being tall is very powerful, but it is not an important sign of being strong.

"I'll put the water here first. You guys stay here and don't make any sound."

Aisha nodded.

She actually couldn't see anything. After all, she didn't have dark vision. She could only listen to the sounds to identify Hardy's approximate location.

Then Hardy jumped up again and walked towards the visitor.

He hid behind a big tree and waited quietly.

Not long after, after a while, there were several footsteps of varying severity walking over slowly.

As they got closer, Hardy could already see what they looked like.

A bunch of succubi.

Ten succubus walked slowly from the front with staggering steps.

And behind them was a strange-looking race.

Hardy has never seen this thing before.

The other person looked like a human, but he had no hair, and his face was shaped like a donkey, but there were a few fleshy tentacles in his mouth, which looked very weird.

However, I heard that many races have disappeared in the darkness of the demon world for more than 10,000 years. It is normal that I have not seen them.

Hardy also discovered that the other party was holding a strange magic prop in his hand, which was emitting a faint light. Because it was very weak, it could only be discovered if he got close.

Later, Hardy discovered that the succubus also had these collars with magical shimmer hanging around his neck.

Slaves...caravan?

Hardy doesn't want to get involved in this matter. Succubi, as a medium race in the demon world, also have good strength, but now ten of them have been caught. I think the donkey-faced race should be pretty good.

Now he has two women with him, and he doesn't want to cause more trouble.

When Hardy was about to leave, he suddenly heard a succubus whisper: "Aglena, where is he taking us?"

The succubus walking at the front whispered: "I don't know, maybe we are going to the next city, let us pick up passengers and make money."

"How disgusting." The succubus spoke first, his tone was disgusting, but also very weak.

But even the weak tone contained a hint of charm.

"You are top-notch succubi, how can you possibly pick up guests." The donkey-faced man at the back chuckled and said, "You will be the breeding ground for the great prince, giving birth to powerful enough descendants for him."

These succubus expressions have become very strange.

The succubus at the front and with the largest jelly said: "This is far away from the royal city, but we will probably be exhausted by the time we get there."

"Don't worry, when you get to the next city, the eldest prince will open the portal in that city and take you...who are you!"

The donkey-faced man suddenly screamed, the smile on his face solidified, and he watched in horror as a black shadow rushed in front of him.

The magical energy that had just been condensed in his hand quickly dissipated.

A long sword pierced his heart, and blue blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth. Then his eyes gradually lost focus and fell back, and the huge magic power disappeared.

The person who suddenly appeared was of course Hardy.

He originally didn't want to take care of it, but when he heard that it was the eldest prince's 'goods', he had to take care of it.

He leaned over, took out the magic item from the donkey-faced man's hand, and then turned to look at the ten succubi.

They also looked over, their eyes full of surprise. (End of chapter)
